Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Tuesday stood up on behalf of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) after the Internet mocked him for suing his own wine company over a Yacht trip that involved drugs and prostitutes.

While appearing on Fox Business News, Gaetz said that Nunes had every right to sue the wine company and even individual Twitter users who mock him.

“Devin Nunes will go down in history as a great American patriot,” Gaetz announced. “Democrats, the media and even social media platforms have tried to silence him but he’s standing strong. I’m glad that the hunted, has become the hunter.”

The schmuck (@RepMattGaetz) who accumulates up DUI's like they were junk mail supporting the moron (@DevinNunes) who supports legislation against frivolous lawsuits and then sues a FAKE cow! Oh, that's rich.

Both of you should have stood up to Trump. You had a duty to. What you’re doing—ignoring the corruption in this Administration, lying for Trump & protecting him from the accountability all presidents are subject to—is wrong & a dereliction of duty. It’s dishonest & dishonorable.

The 2013 Supreme Court decision nullifying federal "preclearance" requirements for states and local governments with a past history of discriminating against minority voters continues to have widespread repercussions.

Before her discussion with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the AM Joy host set up the segment by listing the vast array of choices of "high crimes and misdemeanors" Dems have from which to choose to impeach Trump.
